The pipe tune "Flowers of the Forest" though originaly a Campbell funeral tune became the standard military graveside tune. When I worked for the fire dpt. in Chicago most funerals had a piper, as well as a bugler, black, white, made no difference. please remember only 5% of celts are pipers. most of us have tried at some point but they are extremly difficult. That alone may have some bering on the problem. and as for making a set, I doubt seriously if you could attaine the tones nessary. have to be one hell of a craftsman. I too am a rabid fan of the pipes, but I'm also a banjo player so I guess my taste is in question.
